The title sequence of the
film psycho helps build
suspense. We hear an
orchestra playing music
which sounds
frightening, the colour
black in contract with
the plain white font
may also suggest a dark
scary atmosphere
3.
Here we have an
established shot clearly
used to show the
environment and place
where the film is set in
which looks like 1960s
America being built up.
4.
Here we see a close-up of
Marion driving being
stalked by the policeman
in the background. This
helps build up tension and
leaves the audience
wondering why she is
being followed, to add to
this synchronous music is
played along with the
scene to help build up the
tension.
5.
Here we have a over the
shoulder shot, we can
see that Marion looks
very scared and anxious
as the policeman is still
stalking her on the other
side of the road.
6.
Here we have a medium
shot of Marion having a
shower and someone
creeping into the
bathroom through the
curtain, this helps build
tension to who this
might be and what they
intend to do
7.
The curtain suddenly
opens and we have a
close up of what looks
like a old woman
holding a knife, the
audience immediately
know that this person
intends to harm Marion
and feel more involved
to see what happens
next
8.
Here we have an
extreme close up of
Marion's hands steadily
going down the wall
suggesting she is losing
the will to live and is
dying.
9.
Here we have a two
shot of the detective and
Norman Bates, the
motel owner, we can see
the detective as a very
smart character.
10.
Here we have a long
shot of the house, the
audience would see this
as a spooky house, to
add to this we hear
music which helps build
tension to suggest this
idea that the house is
spooky
